Zion National Park
Worth ItA hybrid of Grand Canyon’s scale and Yosemite’s lush diversity — for our family, more appealing than Grand Canyon thanks to its variety and manageable size.
“For our family, it actually holds more appeal than the Grand Canyon due to its incredibly diverse landscapes and much more manageable, compact size.”
Best for
- Families wanting more landscape variety than Grand Canyon in a more compact package
Why Milo likes it
- A genuinely diverse landscape — towering red sandstone cliffs combined with lush, tree-lined valley floors
- Hiking options for every level, from flat paved walks to wading the Narrows to the daring Angels Landing ridge climb
- Free canyon shuttle bus efficiently drops you at all major trailheads and viewpoints
- The Zion Canyon Visitor Center feels like a cozy open-air village square, fully staffed with helpful rangers
Know before you go
- Summer heat in the canyon is intense — dress in light, breathable layers and bring plenty of water
